TOORCON 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS CLOSING

TOORCON 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS CLOSING The Toorcon call for papers will be closing next week on Thursday, August 14th. This year is looking to definitely be one of our best years yet. Celebrating our 5 year anniversary, we will be offering multiple tracks over both days and will be covering both our usual 0-day underground topics as well as corporate issues and bridging the gap between today's information security concerns and the new technologies being developed.

On a side note, we will be providing hosted bar at our annual Saturday night party hosted by AlphaFight and free redbull during the conference. Pre-registration will be closing in a month, so pre-register now and save $15 off the door price! More details below.
